FAA urged to Change Rest rules by NTSB in Recent accident study

[Stepclimb]

It's funny how PCL's culture claims to be "Safety First", but anything gets waived for that almighty "completion factor".

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I was curious if a Pinnacle pilot would be willing to share what contaminated runway data they have in their books (MU / braking action) vs landing weight and runway required.

I believe the Pinnacle data goes above and beyond the minimum 121.195 (d) DRY and WET factored data that most airlines have. I'm curious what exactly is in the charts.

This isn't anything new. NASA has done these studies before, all supporting shorter duty periods. But nothing will be done because all politicians (they are really the ones that control the FAA) are in the hip pocket of airline management.

Winner, Winner! Chicken Dinner!
